4 – Operation : Trimming Mix Moves
TASCAM DM-3200 Automation Guide 27
Trimming Mix Moves
There may be times when a control has existing mix
moves that are good, but the overall level of those
moves needs to be raised or lowered. In this case,
Trim is used to offset existing moves.
Action: Press the TRIM key before or after starting
timecode and its indicator lights. With timecode run-
ning, perform the desired Trim operation.
Result: With the console in Trim mode, any move-
ment of a control while timecode is running performs
a Trim operation on that control. The audio passing
through the control reflects the previous mix moves,
combined with the offset created by the Trim opera-
tion.
In the case of the touch-sensitive faders, trimming
begins when a fader is touched.
In the case of POD controls, trimming begins when
the control is moved.
In write mode, existing events are not replayed, but in
trim mode, they are played back and merged.
Trim all
If TRIM ALL is enabled in the AUTO SETUP screen, a con-
trol can be trimmed while timecode is running to
adjust the level of that control for the whole of the
automation.
Note that if
TRIM ALL is enabled while timecode is
running, no events will be recorded.
Stop the timecode to complete the pass.

12)“TRIM ALL”
NOTE
This Trim All function cannot be combined with other
global automation modes in the same pass.
Revert Time:
When a control stops trimming mix moves it
“reverts” to reading any mix data that existed before
trimming began. The previously existing data could
be a dynamic mix move or a static control position.
The amount of time it takes to move smoothly from
the end of the trimmed mix move to the previously
existing data is called the Revert Time.
A Revert Time is applied, even when the timecode is
stopped, past the point when the timecode stops, to
ensure a smooth transition between the trimmed mix
move and the control’s previous setting.
